Computational Statistical-Physics Curriculum


Table of Contents

I designed and taught a week-long, Python-based course introducing stochastic simulation, entropy, phase transitions, and neural networks to 20 high school and undergraduate students from non-physics backgrounds at Tecnológico de Monterrey.

The course was built around hands-on notebook labs that emphasized model-building, data analysis, and physical intuition over heavy formalism.

What we covered

  • Random walks and Monte Carlo methods
  • Probability, entropy, and the statistical view of disorder
  • The Ising model and emergent collective behavior
  • A gentle bridge from physical models to neural networks
